I just started a campaign as a samurai. I went samurai instead of cavalier as they don't suffer nearly as much when not mounted. (1st session nearly all the enemies were on balconies etc - and my horse spent his time demoralizing them. :P)
Anyway - as I'm statting out my mount, I'm thinking that eventually I'd like to give him Improved Overrun. I figured it'd be like having trample, except I wouldn't need to burn the feats on my character.
When using Imporved Overrun - would my horse get the hoof attacks that he'd get were I using Trample while mounted on him?

Overrun is a different ability than trample. You don't get free attacks with overrun like you do with trample.
You can give your horse improved overrun, but it doesn't give it a trample. The mount would make the CMB check to overrun, not you. It wouldn't give a hoof attack, because that is what the trample feat is for.
Trample is a feat that the rider takes, and you the rider make the overrun check instead of the mount. If you succeed at the overrun check, your mount gets one hoof attack against targets that you knock down.
